Professor Kahn receives prestigious awards

When the Gerald J. Ford Fellowship award was established in 2002, Mr. Ford stated: “Over the years, in supporting the Ford Research Fellows, I have seen first-hand the contributions made by our faculty through their research. I am pleased to provide them with the next essential asset they need to continue their achievements.” Since establishment in 2002, 65 SMU faculty members have received these Fellowships.
